You borrow $600 from a friend the first week and pay the friend back $20 each week thereafter. Write the first six terms in the sequence. Explain what the sixth term means in the context of the situation.
Write the first six terms in the sequence.
The sequence represents the amount of money borrowed each week.
The first term is $600, representing the initial amount borrowed.
The second term is $20, representing the amount paid back in the first week.
The third term is also $20, representing the amount paid back in the second week.
The fourth term is also $20, representing the amount paid back in the third week.
The fifth term is also $20, representing the amount paid back in the fourth week.
The sixth term is also $20, representing the amount paid back in the fifth week.
The sixth term in the sequence, $20, means that in the fifth week, the borrower paid back an additional $20 to the friend, making a total of $120 paid back in the first six weeks.
